Did You Miss Me?

by Marty

It's easy to disappear in blogland. Just as quickly as you set up shop and start blogging, you can simply quit and evaporate into the ethernetsphere.

Here's where I started to say, "Recently, I had a baby," but that's not entirely true. I had a baby in January. Almost five months ago. Really, there's nothing recent about that. It was, however, when I stopped blogging.

Thankfully, Abby took up the gauntlet here at Triangle Mamas, keeping the posts up and running for me. I can't express enough gratitude to her for that.

What my accidental hiatus has taught me is significant. I think I've come back around to confidence in who I am as a blogger, and that's a good feeling.

The internet goes on with or without you. It has to be your choice to join in or not.

There is plenty of bandwidth for any and everyone.

I like life a lot better when I'm never ever doing giveaways.

I love Triangle Mamas because even when I need a break from writing, I still feel a part of a community.

Blogging really is something I want to fit into my life. It's not a full-time priority for me, and I'm becoming okay with that. I've wanted the benefits without wanting to do the work. That came across much more lazy than I intended it to be.

I would like to sincerely thank all of the ladies here at Triangle Mamas for keeping up and forgiving me the time off that I needed to have. I am so happy to be connected with you here online and in real life. I'm a lucky woman.

Me, Melissa from Adventuroo, and Heather from Follow Linus (hey, want to join us over here?) at the More than a Picnic Picnic by Hebrew International and hosted by Ilina from Dirt and Noise and Molly from My Go Mom! It was a fabulous day in Moore Square with lots of local mom bloggers.
